And while we’re on the Psalms, would you care to respond to what you have been asked before and pointedly failed to answer? – Is the killing of Babylonian babies OK, as plainly stated by Psalm 137?

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 17:51:21 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=25798#comment-245825The 20 year old was stated to be young compared to his age, so let’s assume a maturity of a 18 year old…. Assume the 14 year old to have a maturity of indeed 16.
The 20 year old could have dumped the 14year old straight away, where the article does not give any indicationwhat the rezult of that mighthave been in combination withnot having support at home.
I’minclined to think the guy is being punished to show a ‘no tolerance’ policy…

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 14:15:06 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=25798#comment-245714I don’t need to rationalize it. It is clear for all to see that homosexuality is one of the causes of the spread of deadly plague. Who wouldn’t hate deadly plague.
Also, Psalms 97:10 says hate what is bad!

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:55:50 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=25798#comment-245601You do seem obsessed with incest, Keith, or rather the idea that you can scare people into silence with it. Well, here is my ha’penny worth – if all parties are uncoerced and over the age of consent and all avoidable medical harm is avoided (notably conceiving children where heterosexual coitus is involved – genetical proximity in parents is damaging) – then I see no moral problem at all. Taboos are not morally significant in themselves, no matter how deeply felt they are.

The FACTS as you put it prove your statement is wrong – the report actually confirms the opposite that there is not increased likelihood of a homosexual being a paedophile than a heterosexual

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 09:39:08 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=25798#comment-245574Keith, the endless repetition of pernicious lies by religious ideologues to rationalise their own hatred does not change the fact that they are lies. And it does nothing to protect the great majority of sexually abused children, who suffer from the attentions of (mostly) men related to them whose adult interests and relationships are heterosexual.

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:09:09 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=25798#comment-245549Same as the KKK you say? Which crimes have they committed and how many have they murdered? Why not address the statistics they have quoted and show why they are wrong instead of the usual gay brigade slandering when you don’t like the facts?

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 23:49:30 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=25798#comment-245520Your article presents some of the evidence very clearly and starkly … I need provide no more at the moment

and Keith, this is not the thread to ask that question – strawman – incest is wrong. But that is not the subject of discussion here

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 23:46:37 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=25798#comment-245519I was going to strongly suggest the bias of this article given that the authors come from a world view predisposed to condemn homosexuals and thus the integrity of the study must be questioned.

Evidence needs to be assessed against a series of measures to determine the reliability of such evidence, and this study fails the reliability test, however you carry it out.

It is good to know that the study recognizes and accepts the outcome of some esteemed research pointing out that a homosexual is no more likely to offend with children than a heterosexual.

I also agree with the Spanish system (and the UK does sometimes adopt a similar approach in this regard) is good in looking at whether criminal prosecution is necessary or not, and accepting that it may not be in the public or childs interest to pursue a prosecution.

I do tend to feel that the Spanish – and Swiss, I see below – pattern is rather intelligent, in leaving a margin of possibility for young people who, let’s face it, are going to be sexually active, while reducing the likelihood of exploitation.

It doesn’t matter how often the lie is repeated; it still remains false. Dr. Michael R. Stevenson conducted an exhaustive review of the literature in 2000, and concluded that “a gay man is no more likely than a straight man to perpetrate sexual activity with children,” and “cases of perpetration of sexual behavior with a pre-pubescent child by an adult lesbian are virtually nonexistent”.39 The research is so strong that the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists40 and the American Psychological Association41 are on record saying that there is no relationship between homosexuality and child sexual abuse.

These anti-gay activists know that their claims are false. They’ve read the research from the most knowledgeable experts in the field — the same research I reviewed here in this article. They must know that the falsehoods they are spreading contradict what the researchers themselves are saying.

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 19:56:54 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=25798#comment-245461No there is not. Show it!
Also, while you are here, I am asking you whether consensual imale adult incest is immoral in your view and you cannot answer. Why are you being avasive regarding this straightforward question?

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 18:58:54 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=25798#comment-245441Paedophilia (if thats what this case is – which is debatable …) is equally prevalent in terms of incidence amongst heterosexuals and homosexuals … there is much credible research to demonstrate this …
